Les notes de tête sont composées de matières très volatiles et légères. Elles n'ont pas une persistance dans le temps. En effet, elles s'évaporent rapidement, en général, entre quelques minutes et une à deux heures. Par ailleurs, les notes de tête sont celles qui vont s'imposer en premier lieu à votre nez. Ainsi, généralement, elles déterminent un potentiel coup de cœur chez les utilisateurs dès la vaporisation.

Let's start... with the basics by explaining the perfume pyramid … Imagine a pyramid. At the top of the pyramid, we find the top notes. [The] top notes evaporate to make way for the next part of the pyramid-the heart notes. Just as the name reveals, they make up the body and character of the perfume. They make a smooth transition from the perfume's top notes to the base notes. The base notes are a great part of the perfume's heart, but they also make the perfume long-lasting.
